Manchester United will host Liverpool in the fourth round of the FA Cup after the two arch rivals were drawn together on Monday, with the game set to be played a week after their Premier League summit clash.
The two sides, which are both top of the Premier League table and go head-to-head in the league on Sunday, meet in the cup for the first time since Dirk Kuyt scored a late winner as Liverpool beat United 2-1 in January 2012.
United has not beaten Liverpool since March 2018, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer yet to taste victory against Jurgen Klopp’s side in four attempts.
Defending champion Arsenal will be on the road and plays either Southampton or Shrewsbury Town, with the third-round tie yet to be decided after the game was called off when Shrewsbury reported COVID-19 cases in its squad.
